This gluten free pancake recipe is one of the first things that made me feel like I could still eat delicious food after being told by my doctor that I’m allergic to gluten. I admit, I was a little devastated, as many of my favorite foods have wheat. But after coming to grips with it and doing a little research I realized that although I can’t have wheat, there are still ways to create alternative yummy recipes of the foods that I love. This pancake recipe is the perfect example. These are the best gluten-free pancakes, and I am so happy I didn’t have to give up one of my favorite breakfast foods.
Ingredients in Gluten Free Pancakes
Gluten-Free Flour Blend – a good cup for cup flour blend (I like Namaste) Granulated sugar Baking powder Baking soda Salt Milk Egg Optional: Vanilla Extract
Finding Good Gluten Free Flour
The most important step to fluffy gluten-free pancakes is starting with a good GF flour. Not all gluten free flours are created equal! You need to find a good one that says it substitutes cup for cup with regular flour. I had to experiment with a few different ones before finding this one that I really like. Recently I tried the Namaste Perfect Flour Blend Gluten Free Flour, which I found at Costco. It’s delicious and measures exactly like flour. And it gives this pancake recipe that light, fluffy texture that I’ve been craving. If you can’t find Namaste look for a good cup for cup gluten-free flour blend.Namaste flour is so good in these pancakes, the rest of my family is perfectly satisfied with them even though they can eat regular flour. They can eat stacks of these pancakes without questioning if they are gluten free or not.
Make Your Own Gluten Free Pancake Mix
This easy gluten free pancake recipe can be made into a mix to make life simpler. I usually double or triple the recipe and mix together all the dry ingredients. Leave out the milk and egg! Then when you are ready to make pancakes use 1 ¾ cups of the pancake mix and add the wet ingredients – egg and milk. Best gluten free pancakes ever for fluffy pancakes, way better than any store bought mix.
Add-ins for Gluten Free Pancakes
With one or two extra ingredients, you can give your pancakes a boost of flavor. Try one or combine some of the add-ins below for an extra delicious gluten free pancake.
Gluten Free Blueberry Pancakes: Add ½ cup fresh blueberries to the pancake batter. Banana Pancakes: Add ½ cup mashed banana to the pancake batter. Slice 1-2 bananas. When you add the pancake batter to the pan, watch for the bubbles to come on top, then place sliced bananas on top of each pancake. Peanut Butter Pancakes: Add ½ cup creamy peanut butter to the batter. Chocolate Chips: Throw in a few tablespoons of chocolate chips for chocolate chip pancakes. Cinnamon Pancakes: Sprinkle 1-2 teaspoons of cinnamon into the batter. For an extra burst of cinnamon, add a handful of cinnamon chips as well.
Coconut Yogurt Syrup
This coconut syrup is to die for! It tastes just like the coconut syrups that they serve at diners in Hawaii. I could eat it with a spoon, it’s that yummy. Plus, it’s super easy to make and tastes amazing with this pancake recipe. Of course, there are dozens of syrups and toppings you can try, but this is one of my favorites to share with you. Here’s all you need:
Sugar Coconut Greek Yogurt – you could use regular coconut yogurt too, but the Greek variety gives it more bulk and flavor. Butter Coconut extract
Melt all the ingredients together and whisk over low heat until they’re all combined and smooth. It’s delicious on waffles, toast, homemade rolls, just about anything! READ NEXT: 33+ Super Easy Breakfast Ideas – many more gluten-free breakfast recipes
